Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology -- how to ...

Just four different movements make up the 12 distinct arm motions that wild octopuses utilize to achieve complex tasks, like probing rocks for food. Research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

Mouse primary motor and somatosensory cortices contain detailed information about the many time-varying arm and paw joint angles during reaching and grasping, implying a 'low-level' role in ...

Ultraviolet-laser processing is a promising technique for developing intricate microstructures, enabling complex alignment of muscle cells, required for building life-like biohybrid actuators, as ...

John Famechon was the former featherweight boxing champion of the world. He won the title in London in 1969. John suffered an incapacitating brain injury in August 1991 when a car, estimated to be ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...
